Just for the record...

the opening acts last night were:

Dirty University, a pretty decent rock band from West Palm Beach who did one of the best U2 covers I've ever heard, "Where the Streets Have No Name". Very charismatic front man with a good voice and stage presence.

You Are I Am, eclectic sound from a group of guys who were obviously ALL about the music! Love the lead singer's voice, especially when he went for those notes in the upper register....and he performs barefoot!! Smiling Gotta love that!

The Midway State from Toronto, Canada, is a very talented group of guys with their own unique sound and look. I have to mention here that, not knowing anything about these guys, they look EXTREMELY young but performed very well with melodic songs and nice vocals.

Each band had their own special sound and presence....they performed original music (except for the U2 cover mentioned earlier) and deserved to be respectfully seen and heard.
